• Key Concepts: 
  Qualifying authorization is a feature of ICM Incentive and Commission Management (ICM) that allows users to set up rules to determine which sales transactions are eligible for commission payments. This feature helps to ensure that only valid transactions are included in the commission calculations.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use qualifying authorization, users must first define the criteria for which transactions should be eligible for commission payments. This can include criteria such as customer type, product type, or transaction amount. Once the criteria have been set, ICM will automatically check each transaction against the criteria and determine whether or not it is eligible for commission payments.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up qualifying authorization rules, it is important to consider the impact that these rules may have on sales performance. For example, if the criteria are too restrictive, it may discourage salespeople from making certain types of sales. It is also important to ensure that the criteria are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that they remain relevant.
